What a foundation repair project looks like here

Arlington sits on the Mt Oliver hillside between the South Side Slopes and the Hilltop neighborhoods.

Most stock dates to 1900-1940 brick singles and Foursquares on cut-and-fill terraces.

Section 902 geotechnical review is required on the majority of additions and foundation projects.

In Arlington specifically, 1900-1940 brick singles + foursquare on hillside terraces stock means foundation repair scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
