Re kracher drain cleaner
I have used my drain cleaner to unblock a 2-3" soakaway pipe. it has cleared the obstruction but i am unable to retrieve the pipe as it appears to have stuck fast.... any ideas has anybody experienced a similar problem. at the moment I am faced with digging up the soakaway to see what has happened

- Historically probably solved, but previous answers re:- where the end of the hose is located seem like overly-complicated solutions. For example.... If it's a 7.5 mtr hose & you have 4 mtrs from the access-point to the lance...the nozzle is 3.5 mtrs from the access-point... Ummmm?? More importantly, which direction? Marks on the hose won't help with that! You need sight of the next access-point which is not relevant for a soakaway.
- An interesting point about snagging the hose and not being able to withdraw it. I'll mark my hose at 0.5 metre intervals so at least I have an idea of where to dig if this happens.

It is possible that either debris in the pipe or a collapse of the pipe has trapped the hose. You could try to use another drain cleaner or rods to release it. This may help to identify the distance to the obstruction so reduce the amount of digging in the event you cannot release it.
