An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Westwood, NJ fire claims get partially denied.
