Is lateral damp the same thing as penetrating damp? Google seems to think it is.

hollyoaks777, good evening.

Yes, But?

Lateral + penetrating will occur above ground on any external wall.

Causation of above can be? a dirty cavity tie [mortar on the cavity tie]

Older retro filled cavity insulation.

Solid old 9 inch brick walls?

Masonry solid walls?

In effect both sets of terminology are interlinked and in effect the same thing.
