I completely go along with Dale! The best way, is to stop it happening in the first place.
One of the greatest hazards is powder detergents for clothes washers and dish washers. Using the liquid form helps greatly. Another source is fat by-product of cooking. Try not to pour this down the waste. Try to re-use it for further cooking of dry food, or throw it away into what you guys over the pond call the 'trash can'! Mechanical blocks, of course, should be treated with a rod of some sort.

The best thing for grease is detergent. Every time you are washing up you are going to emulsify some of that grease into suspension and help carry it away. Heat, as in hot water will also melt grease although it will reconsolidate further along as it cools. Most petroleum based solvents will also thin or dilute even animal fats but they are usually quite flammable so not usually a good thing to tip down a drain.. All this assumes you are on municipal sewers. Be a little careful about how much of anything you pour down a septic system.

Stone To: Blind Handyman Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 5:56 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Home remedies-sewer traps Long ago we had a discussion on her as to what works good in home sewer traps, like the ones under the kitchen sink and that main trap before things leafve the house. I have a feeling that someone here has not wiped a greasy pan out like after having cooked sausage or a burger. It was my turn to do the dish's today and I am positive I felt grease on the little dohangis that stops up the water. so besides buying liquid plumber what might be good for possible grease in a trap. is it baking soda, rock salt? any and all answers, suggestions would be appreciated. thanks.lee -- Did you hear that two rabbits escaped from the zoo and so far they have only recaptured 116 of them?
