2. Try natural drain cleaners or conditioners

Maybe try a natural drain cleaner conditioner that are based on enzymes and microbes. Chemical ones just like a hole in the gunk where the natural ones keep working to clear the whole pipe. Another plumbing trick is Dawn dish detergent and near boiling water, that can clear fats.

I don't wish to post retail products I just randomly search. Also don't use enzymes with septic systems if you can help it they can clog your outer leach field.
