AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Where We Excel

Locating Unmarked Graves

Whether you’re a family genealogist, cemetery caretaker, land developer, or law enforcement, unmarked graves pose this dilemma:

  • Do you risk not knowing, not digging, and the headache of still not knowing?
  • Or do you risk not knowing, digging anyway, and the headache of accidental excavation?

Alternatively, you can get a High-Res 3D GPR Survey to locate your likely unmarked graves; a survey that:

  • Can be deployed into urban or rural cemeteries, abandoned burial grounds, and clandestine sites for burials as far back as the early 1800s
  • Identifies likely unmarked graves of adults, children, and infants as well as their probability level (e.g. high, moderate, slight)
  • Marks the precise locations on-site of these likely unmarked graves

Mapping Cemeteries

Whether you’re a cemetery caretaker, genealogist, or family member, trying to locate a gravesite or an open plot in a cemetery without a usable map poses its own dilemma:

  • Do you rely on outdated, incomplete, and sometimes straight up inaccurate documentation (or memory) to find that gravesite or open plot?
  • Or do you walk the cemetery grounds and hope you find what you’re looking for?

Alternatively, you get a High-Precision GIS Map & Directory made of your cemetery, a map that:

  • Identifies the actual locations of all marked graves as well as the precise locations for new grave plots (plus unmarked graves if you already got the GPR survey!)
  • Can be periodically updated so that it displays the actual, current state of things
  • Includes an alphabetized directory of graves for quick and easy reference with the map

Miscellaneous & Unique

Perhaps you love the Sidekick Standard and how we deploy our High-Res 3D GPR Surveys and High-Precision GIS Maps & Directories, but your underground dilemma doesn’t involve unmarked graves or cemeteries. If that’s the case, we also offer:

  • Water line locating
  • Sewer drainage field locating

Or maybe you have a really unique dilemma and you wonder if GPR in general and Sidekick LLC in particular could solve it. Contact us, and we’ll give you an honest assessment about our capability to tackle your dilemma. Examples of previous unique challenges include:

  • Attempting to locate caves allegedly filled with Spanish gold prior to a property sale (tragically, no caves and no gold)
  • Scanning the foundation of a house expansion to see if the expansion contractor had used as much rebar as in the original foundation (they definitely had not)
  • Anything else you can think of!
