The general home inspection covers sprinklers, pool pump, heater, spa, central vac,  electrical outlets and windows, fans, fixtures, and plumbing. They will also inspect the roof to see if there are any leaks by going into the attic and they should go on top of the roof to see about broken or crack tiles.
