Flashing around the plumbing vents are damaged. Major Concern. Recommend repair/replacement.

It looks like snow and ice have been pushing against the boots, you are in MO so I suspect you do have these conditions from time to time. I can't tell from the pictures but this is a common problem in the north where many builders, architects, engineers, plumbers don't understand the fact that stacks must be installed close to the ridge or through an end wall when a metal roof is applied.

If this isn't the case in your area, it is an important factor for those in the land of snow and ice. I've seen many various types of stacks ripped off and damaged including a damaged smoke stack caused burn marks in attic space in a municipal garage which has been corrected. Be very aware of this situation.

Vent flashing on the metal roof appeared to be of an improper type.
This condition may result in damage to home materials from roof leakage.
The inspector recommends correction by a qualified roofing contractor.
