Is there an enzyme cleaner I can use to clear grease 30 feet down a drain? I can use hot water but clearly it just solidifies again 5 feet later. I am hoping to find an enzyme that breaks it down. I am very good about not putting grease down but there is always some on dishes. Every 4 months or so the drain basically stops. I snake it and it works again but not for long.

Problem with a jetter or a snake, that hole that gets created will fill again as the grease melts - sealing it back up again. Grease really does stink.
In the past, I have used baking soda and then vinegar with kettles of rolling boil hot water flushing it further down the drain. It is a slow process. Did I say that grease stinks. It is plain old nasty. Toilet water smells so much better than grease

Yes I am sure it is not roots but good question. I have not heard of a grease trap but I will look into it. It is not really bad everything is exposed it just takes 15 minutes but often happens at a bad time.
I was told before it was grease the last time I hired a company, and it makes sense with how the clog works. --66.29.xxx.xxx |

Enzymes pretty much only work on proteins. I've never herd of one that eats grease.

Just snaked it and snake was greasy but I do not snake much so maybe that is normal. I turned my hot water tank to highest setting and let it run 10 minutes, drano, wait 1 hour, hot water for 10 minutes again. --66.29.xxx.xxx |

What the He-double hockey sticks is wrong with you? Where did that grease come from? Is it your grease? Why would you allow grease into a plumbing drain? Are you stupid or something? Is it a tenant dumping grease into the plumbing?
Tenant grease equals a plumber called and the tenant pays the bill. That's how they learn.
Your grease equals pay a plumber and wise the heck up to drains, grease, solids, and water. Drains are designed to take water only.

Had a sewer line back up once from grease. I accessed the trap at the curb, and used my shop vac to suck out a grease ball about the size of a baseball. Gross job, but once I figured out where the clog was and what was causing it, it was a pretty quick fix. Beautiful sight to see all that water rushing down an open drain. --206.171.xxx.xx |
