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.
Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Charlotte Hall, MD insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
