A dream home has turned into a nightmare for a Nova Scotia family, who is now stuck paying the mortgage on the home almost two years after it was swallowed up by a sinkhole.
Back in September of 2017, a sinkhole opened up under the family’s house.“I could hear things moving, like almost being dragged,” Strickey said. “I tried to be calm and cool, but eventually realized there was probably someone in our house.”
Initially optimistic that insurance would cover them, the family found out that their contents were covered, but not their home. As a legal battle continues to resolve the claim, the Strickeys are stuck paying the mortgage on a home that no longer exists.
