I would like help determining the best way to clear a blocked storm water drain. The drain cover is about 5-6 inches in diameter and is set in the lawn. I can feel soil that has been washed into the drain. I am assuming that the pipe runs into a lake situated behind our house which is about 30 or so feet from the drain cover.:)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Is this a private drain pipe. You could probably snake it out but would probably have to run water in the pipe as you snake to carry away the soil.
