This will depend on the type of septic tank you have. A steel tank can last up to 20 years. Concrete or plastic tanks last much longer, up to and even beyond 40 years. A properly maintained and looked after septic tank will of course last longer.

If however, you have a PVC plastic pipe then preventive maintenance is not necessary unless dips are know of or are present.
