Patent ID: 6892491

Claim:
A method for destroying and removing harmful biological organisms, including molds and fungi, and chemical substances from an enclosure, comprising the steps of: positioning at least one temperature probe at a predetermined location within the structure; positioning a manometer within the structure to measure the pressure within the structure; controlling the egress of air from the enclosure with respect to the ingress of air into the enclosure to create a negative pressure within the structure; directing heated air into the structure and distributing the heated air until an interior of the structure rises to a predetermined temperature of between 110° F. and 400° F. to cause the harmful biological or chemical substances in the structure to be destroyed or migrate into the ambient air; introducing moisture into the heated air to increase the humidity of the air; monitoring the temperature of the structure until the predetermined temperature is achieved; monitoring pressure levels within the structure to verify adequate negative pressure; aggressively moving the air within the structure; and removing the heated air from the structure through a filter.
