No, if it is minimized enough, i.e. "highly minimized", then it will not be damaging relative to the type of damage that is being discussed on this forum as of late.


Minimized is a qualitative term which is so broad, no two people have the same benchmark as to what they think is "minimized" in terms of damage. Really, we are going back and forth on this issue, how can you "minimize" a leak to the point where "it will not be damaging relative to the type of damage that is being discussed on this forum as of late" as you posted?


In an apartment or co-op where there is a dwelling above you, there is a heavy water leak which damages the ceiling. Maintenance personnel come in to your apartment and the apartment above you to fix the leak. The leak is not wholly stopped but "minimized" instead, then another crew comes in to repair the hole in your ceiling (caused by the leak). You now have a brand new ceiling in the area where the leak happened. Yes the leak in minimized but there is a drip. The drip causes water accumulation (especially where it is in an area where water cannot evaporate) and creates visible water seepage through the same ceiling which was repaired earlier. Over time (maybe a couple of years), the water accumulation causes a portion of your ceiling to come again because the leak was not fixed but minimized.


So, now what do you have to say about that?
