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.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

Placentia, CA 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 Placentia 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.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.

We plan around your operating hours wherever the damage allows partial reopening during the rebuild.
Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Placentia permitting.
