These are true stories not make believe as your property insurance carriers would have you believe... On May 31, the Corbett family huddled in their basement as their neighbors’ homes were leveled in the storm that rocked St. Charles County. The family lost the entire side of their home and three months later, nothings has been fixed. A blue tarp covers the opening on the Corbett’s home on Haversham Drive, with damage inside and out. The wood floors are buckled, drywall ruined and the house was condemned by St. Charles County. The family has homeowners insurance with Billings Mutual Insurance. The Corbetts were told to get bids with the first one coming in at $79,000. The insurance company asked them to get another bid and the second one came in at $59,000. A Billings Mutual adjuster came back with a much lower amount to fix the mess. News 4’s Chris Nagus asked “What’s the insurance company willing to pay?” “$15,000. Originally $13,000 but we got them to $15, 000,” Corbett said.
