Hi everyone,

I've got a small drain on my driveway it almost looks like a soakaway but it won't clear I've already managed to get my hand down and clear what I can it was full of dark thick sludge and I put some water down and soda crystals which at first looked like it cleared but after trying to put water down to see it won't go down at all

When it rains because the drain isn't draining properly it floods the driveway as it's on a slight angle, I've tried using a small drain rod but no luck I was thinking of digging down the grass next to it and seeing if it runs towards the neighbours and knock it out but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas?
