Could Your Own Home Be Making You Sick?

The Truth About “Sick Building Syndrome” and How to Protect Your Health at Home

Have you ever noticed you feel stuffy, tired, or even slightly sick at home—but the moment you step outside, it seems to get better?

You’re not imagining it.

It’s called “Sick Building Syndrome,” and it’s more common than most people realize. When your HVAC system isn’t clean or properly maintained, your home can trap pollutants and circulate them in the air you breathe—every hour, every day.

At Timeless Home Solutions, we believe your home should be a healing space, not a hidden source of stress. Let’s break down what sick building syndrome is, what signs to look out for, and how our services help protect your health.

What Is Sick Building Syndrome (SBS)?

Sick Building Syndrome refers to a set of symptoms that people experience as a direct result of spending time in a building with poor indoor air quality. It doesn’t mean the building is structurally damaged—it means something inside the building is affecting your body.

This can happen in offices, stores, and yes—even your home.

Common Symptoms of SBS Include:

• Constant fatigue or brain fog

• Itchy eyes, sore throat, or runny nose

• Unexplained coughing, sneezing, or sinus issues

• Headaches or dizziness

• Skin irritation or rashes

• Worsened allergies or asthma indoors

These symptoms often improve when you leave the building—only to return once you're back home again.

What Causes It?

Here are the most common culprits in homes:

• Dirty Air Ducts: Over time, ducts can collect dust, mold spores, bacteria, and allergens.

• Poor Ventilation: When air doesn’t circulate properly, contaminants build up.

• HVAC Mold Growth: Moisture inside your system or drip pans can lead to hidden mold.

• Old or Clogged Filters: Your filters are the first line of defense. If they’re dirty, so is your air.

• Neglected HVAC Maintenance: A poorly maintained system can

  leak pollutants instead of filtering them.
