If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Woodstock, VA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
