Normally the main sewer and building house tap and main line of disposal can last well over 50 years without needing to be snaked or water jetted if installed properly.But if there is root infiltration or excessive grease deposits then once a year should be enough.Never use chemicals . If your not sure have your sewer snaked then water jetted to scour the lines to restore full flow and remove years of soap scum and grease build up.

A color video inspection will also help to pick up any defects you may not have been away of
