About
Priddy Chimney was founded in 1982 in Bethesda, Maryland as a one-man sweep operation. It has since grown to a full-service chimney company that offers sweep, repair, and artisanal masonry expertise. We service Washington, D.C. and its surrounding suburbs; greater Baltimore, including the I-95 corridor between the Baltimore (I-695) and Washington (I-495) Beltways; as well as northern Virginia.
Seth Balsam
Owner
Seth grew up in Ashton before leaving the DC area to explore life outside the region.
He lived an itinerant lifestyle, working for a variety of consulting companies in Germany and the United States.
Returning to the region in 2000, he eventually joined Baltimore’s biggest high-tech firm, where he spent nine years honing his skillset in global procurement and supply chain operations.
His interests include mechanical engineering, road cycling, motorcycling, and chimney physics.

Hind Domanowski
Vice President of Operations
Hind is the Priddy organization’s polyglot, speaking Arabic, French, Japanese and deep chimney!
Hind’s history with Priddy Chimney began in 2007 working part-time as an undergraduate at UMD. A Terrapin with a diverse professional background in consulting, including two tours in Japan with the U.S. Navy, Hind returned to the chimney world finding a passion for working in small business.
Hind’s interests include community service, traveling with her family, hiking, international law, and political theory.
Hind fancies herself as the “Sherlock Holmes” of chimneys and loves working with homeowners to resolve chimney ventilation and construction issues.
