I have a kitchen sink drain that has given me problems due to what I
believe is a grease clog. Although I do not pour grease down this drain,
I believe it is almost impossible to prevent some, due to the nature of
its use.

Although I have tried many drain opening chemicals along with a 15 foot
drain pipe wire, the most effective for the latest clog was the rubber
bladder attachment to a hose supplied with hot water. (I have an exterior
access plug for this drain, and that is where I inserted the bladder) It
DID open the drain, but I am looking for something that will remove any
additional grease remaining in the pipe. In the past I have even used the
grease eating powder recommended for septic tanks, but I am not sure it
did any good. While the drain is still open, I hope to pour something
down it to remove any grease that has not been removed from the pipe, as I
do not cherish the opportunity to again clear the pipe. Has anyone had
good results grease removal in drains??

If you're on a septic system be careful about any chemicals you pour down
the drains as they could destroy the biomat in the drainfield.
My brother recently had to replace his drainfield and it wasn't cheap,
around $9200 because they had used *too much* anti-bacterial soaps/shampoos,
DW detergents and Jet Dry in the DW. It cost so much because the stuff they
dig up is considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly.
You should consider getting a specialist out there to take a look, you might
have venting problems or other mechanical issues that chemicals cannot cure.
