The dog likely has separation anxiety. Get him a Kong toy and fill it with peanut butter or other soft food and stuff kibbles inside. Save this special treat ONLY for when you leave, so he can associate you leaving with getting a special treat. Trying to get the food out of the Kong will take him hours and this keeps him busy while you're gone.
It's also possible he's being rated too long if you are gone for many hours. If this is true, try to get a family member/friend or neighbor to comeandletthe dog out for a bit each day.

Crate training is the easiest way to housetrain dogs, and it also teaches them how to settle down and entertain themselves when you're gone. However, crates won't work if they're used to punish a dog or keep him "out of sight, out of mind." Use the crate only when necessary, give your dog plenty of breaks to stretch his legs and to play and bond with you, and make crate time more pleasant by stocking it with toys.more information:http://dogtime.com/housetraining-crate-training.html

They sell plastic crates that are entirely enclosed in solid plastic except for some windows at the top. These crates would prevent your dog from being able to get to the carpet under the crate. If you do not want to go out and buy a new crate, put some chew toys, such as raw-hides, and other toys in the crate to keep your dog entertained. Your dog is destroying things because he is probably bored.
