Sick Building Syndrome in Houston, TX

Residential • Commercial • Industrial

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) occurs when people experience health symptoms linked to time spent inside a building, but no specific illness or cause can immediately be identified. Symptoms often worsen the longer occupants remain in the building and improve when they leave.

Common symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome include:

  • Headaches and fatigue

  • Eye, nose, and throat irritation

  • Dizziness or nausea

  • Difficulty concentrating or feeling generally unwell

If multiple occupants experience these symptoms in your home, office, industrial facility, or commercial building, it may be time to evaluate your indoor air quality and building systems.

What Causes Sick Building Syndrome?

Sick Building Syndrome can result from a combination of environmental and mechanical issues within a property. Common causes include:

  • Poor ventilation or HVAC system failures

  • Mold contamination and moisture issues

  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from building materials, furniture, or office equipment

  • Improper exhaust ventilation from printers, copiers, or industrial machinery

  • Carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide buildup from malfunctioning systems

  • Industrial chemicals or cleaning agents used inside the building

  • Insufficient fresh air intake or filtration

Even modern buildings can suffer from SBS if airflow and contaminant control are not properly maintained.
