I did think an industrial air compressor, like the type you use for jack hammer, would work well. I'd have to use a shop vac to suck out the standing water in the pipe though. You know, just in case the other end came up an interior wall or something crazy like that. One problem though. The engine would be louder than any hiss I might hear. Even a quiet electric compressor with a storage tank would need to have a perfect seal on the pipe in order to hear the hiss out of the correct end.

I don't think the pipe is coming out of the ground. My fish tape came up against something solid, so I'm guessing it could be capped off under ground somewhere. I am hoping there is something I can tie to the end of fish tape, and then locate that something from above the ground.
