Had to replace all these bricks. Sprinklers kept soaking bricks and got rebar wet. It rusted and destroyed the bricks. The black stains are from creosote/soot/smoke/ hot gases escaping flue and firebox, potentially getting into combustibles and house fire.

Chimney Crown Repair

Crowns are at the top of  your chimney, and should be on your priority list. The crown is your chimney’s first line of defense against mother nature. A working chimney crown helps keep the elements off your chimney and in return, assists in maintaining the structural integrity of your chimney.
