I have had problems in the past and tried to solve them with
chemicals. Finally after decades I realized I needed to take a more
serious action, hence the snake.Â* I freed the stoppage but am trying
to prevent further blockage.Â* I guess I could do the snake again, but
it is an unpleasant job.Â* I have a grease jar where I put all possible
grease, but some is unavoidable.

Can you use a snake if you have a disposal installed?
No, I used an access cleanout port below it to achieve that.
