In the scope of Utah Flood Cleanup, "Sick building syndrome" (SBS) refers to a situation where occupants of a building experience health issues or discomfort without a specific identifiable cause, and these symptoms are directly linked to the time spent within the building. Common triggers of SBS are often tied to poor indoor air quality, which could be due to issues with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), molds, inadequate exhaust ventilation, or the lack of sufficient fresh-air intake/air filtration.

While specific diseases may not be identified, individuals in such buildings might experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, concentration problems, or irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. These symptoms often improve or disappear entirely once individuals depart the building.

When faced with potential SBS, Utah Flood Cleanup comes into play by inspecting and remedying potential causes of poor indoor air quality such as mold damage, water damage which can lead to mold growth, or fire and smoke damage that may have affected HVAC systems.
