Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Central City, KY insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
