    Drain cleaning bladder stuck in pipe
    I have a clog in one of my 2 main house drains. While trying to blast the clog out with a drain cleaning bladder (1.5 - 3 inch size), I think that the bladder passed the point where the pipe gets larger (i.e. under my basement floor). The garden hose has been disconnected from the faucet input but I cannot pull it out. Any ideas on how to shrink the bladder so it will come out?

    Thanks!!

    Hello, the bladder should have shrunk when you turned off the water, hook up the hose onto the spigot again then turn on the water so the bladder will inflate then as you pull on the hose turn off the water so the bladder will deflate hopefuly this will aline the bladder with the pipe that goes to the fitting its hung up on and come out.
