KALAMAZOO, MI — Several residents at the Campus Court Apartments have been forced out of their units by a raw sewage backup, according to WWMT-TV.

Servicemaster was called to the scene to perform the cleanup in all of the eight flooded apartments, the story stated.

Jennifer Falkowski, a displaced resident, said: "There's five inches of water gushing out of every water orifice in our apartment. It was still flowing out into the hallway it was all the way up to the stairs, it was gross, I didn't even go in."

Management said they will pay for the displaced residents to stay at a local hotel until the cleanup is completed, the story noted.

Though many residents' personal belongings are permanently damaged, the flooded units will have new carpet and flooring after the ordeal is over, the story added.
