The real question should be, what don't we include in our inspection. For an exhaustive list you can read our Standards Of Practice.
I find that three of the places where I can find out the most about your home are in the crawlspace, attic and on top of the roof. I go into these places whenever it is possible as that is the only way I believe you can be served to the level I try to strive to keep.
