Grease cools as it travels, coating pipe walls until the opening shrinks to a pencil-width gap.

Yes. Mechanical clearing with a drain snake or auger removes the grease core, and hydro-jetting scours the pipe walls clean. We do not use Drano, Liquid-Plumr, or Green Gobbler on a full blockage because those products rarely reach the grease and can damage older pipe. For maintenance, an enzyme drain cleaner once a month helps keep the line clear between professional visits.
