Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.
Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.
If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.
