Hi

Had an issue with the drain from the washing machine outside overflowing with all the detergent mixed water.

Bought drain rods with plunger fitting and the corkscrew and rodded it and the water flushed away down the drain.

I pulled out loads of stones from the bottom of the pipe and it appears that there is a blockage of what i can only describe as solid concrete and i cannot go any deeper than elbow depth down into the pipe.

Is this normal? Should I get it looked at or is there a way I can treat the concrete to remove it?
