Over the recent winter break, Clemson’s well-known apartment complex, 114 Earle, experienced a flooding outbreak on the first floors of the complex while students were home on their much-needed vacations. According to the previous manager of the apartments, there was a pipe burst that caused excessive water damage to many rooms on the entry floors.
The incident occurred around Dec. 24, although residents were not notified until shortly after, around Jan. 4. Residents that experienced water damage in their units were notified by email, while residents that were not affected by the flooding were not contacted at all. 
When residents returned to Clemson after the break, they found carpeting torn up throughout the hallways, large fans drying the area, plastic tarping alongside their furniture and air ventilation systems and damage to some of their personal possessions, which the management of 114 Earle promised they would try to reproduce.
The rooms of 114 Earle were worked on throughout the remainder of Clemson’s break, and the manager has resigned from his position and been replaced by a more experienced manager who has taken the situation into hand following the destruction. 
On Jan. 24, a similar situation presented itself at Campus View, an apartment complex just about 20 feet from the front doors of 114 Earle. The flooding went out through the side entrance and towards the main street that connects Campus View and 114 Earle.
There is not much information on the cause of the flood at the moment, but fire alarm systems were set off in both neighboring apartment units to warn residents of the surrounding circumstances.
