Pump stuck down bore?

From time to time we are called to attend a water bore repair job where we find a submersible pump stuck down a bore hole. Most commonly it would be a 25 year old plus bore. But sometimes we see it in more modern bores. Occasionally it is the result of a lightning strike or lighning induction and the pump motor has blistered or swollen. More commonly it would be because tree roots have managed to get in to the bore hole through a breach in the casing or from the top. Sometimes it is that the stainless steel draw-wire has snapped. Occasionally the electrical cable has become entangled. Sometimes the borecasing itself is no longer truly perpendicular.There are a host of other reasons we have encountered.  More often than not we can recover the situation using our winch or other techniques.
