if u blow on it hard enough with a plug on the other end it should pop out easier than the freezing water...i would try blowing on it first:macho

I may have spoke too soon about the ice being better. I read that the ice works ok, but sometimes it will split a pipe. The pros use low air pressure in the pipe and a torch to heat the dent. If you dont know what you are doing, the red hot metal can blow out on you. There are several places that will repair a pipe for about $35 dollars.
