An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Oakville, CT fire claims get partially denied.
