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.

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Paintsville, KY fire claims get partially denied.
Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
