If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Lexington, IL 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.
