Common Issues with Scully Fireplaces
Scully fireplaces, known for their craftsmanship and durability, can still encountered several issues over time. Understanding these common issues can help you address problems promptly and maintain your fireplace's longevity.
From our years of experience, we've seen a range of issues, including:
- Drafting problems, leading to smoke-filled rooms or inefficient heating.
- Cracked or damaged fireboxes, refractory bricks, or other masonry components.
- Faulty fireplace inserts or glass doors that require repairs or replacement.
- Issues with gas fireplaces, such as pilot light malfunctions or thermocouple problems.
Diagnosing Drafting Problems
Drafting issues can stem from various reasons, such as improper chimney height, blocked flues, or damaged masonry. Our technicians use specialized tools to inspect your chimney, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and tailored solution.
We may recommend services such as chimney cleaning, repairs to damaged bricks or mortar, or installing a Chase Cover to prevent water intrusion and draft issues.

Cracks in your firebox or refractory bricks can pose safety risks and decrease heating efficiency. Our team specializes in masonry repairs, using high-heat ratedmortar and bricks to match your original fireplace construction.
We carefully remove damaged components, apply a professional-grade mixture to the repaired area, and allow it to cure before resuming normal fireplace operation.
