Because the house was filled with natural gas, Rick knew it was a matter of minutes before it would explode.
Here's the story...
Jim
We knew Rick and Betty before they started this business. They have always been very helpful and go out of their way to help others.
When they founded Always There Cottage Care, we were relieved - for several years, we wanted to hire a service like this, but couldn't find anyone who we could trust with our home. We completely trust Rick and Betty - and, this trust has paid off for us.
Just this winter, they helped us solve a mouse problem and, more recently, on one of their weekly inspections of our home, they discovered that our cleaning lady (not affiliated with them) had accidentally turned on the gas starter to the fire place - the house had filled with natural gas. Thankfully, Rick discovered this dangerous situation, found the source and cleared the house of the gas. We can only imagine what would have happened if Rick had not discovered the problem and the gas had continued to fill the house.
During the past year, we have come to rely on Rick and Betty - especially for the weekly inspection reports that they send to us by e-mail. When we receive those comprehensive reports, we know that our cottage is safe and secure and that we don't have to be there every weekend to check in (especially nice in the winter).
We can't imagine a more professional, diligent and friendly cottage care company in Harbor Country. We highly recommend Rick and Betty.

Betty and Rick Scanlan are two of the most reliable people my wife and I know. We came to know them about 10 years ago through the church we both attend. Their lives attest to the fact that they seek to serve other people. My wife and I wish them well in their Always There Cottage Care venture. We give them our whole-hearted endorsement.
