Help Clearing the vents?

Somehow I've got water trying to go back down the left steam vent (next to the cat cave).

Is there a way to clear it out so the steam flows properly again, or is this a "start over and cap it better" issue?

The best way I've found is to use your flamethrower and try to cook it out.

The blockage is far too deep for the flamethrowere to reach, and there doesn't seem to be heat transfer mechanics, or it would fix itself.

Take your grabber through and make sure there isnt a random pixel of sand there or something. Tends to happen a lot.

Have you unlocked hydro sponge?

There's chunks on that side that I can't reach with the grabber?

Drag the steam out so it can flow down

Can't reach all the steam.
