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.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Andrews, SC insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Andrews properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
