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.

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 Hammond, LA fire claims get partially denied.
