Rising damp starts to happen when the existing (DPC) Damp Proof Course has deteriorated, allowing any water from the ground surrounding foundation and lower brickwork to rise up by capillary action through the weakened DPC.
Ground water contains soluble salts that can often leave a band of salt on the plaster or out side brickwork.
Bricks can be very absorbent depending on their density.
Often rising damp can start because of the ground level around the property has been raised over the years with the possible addition of a flowerbed, patio and other types of paving.

Penetrating damp can appear at any level.
It is most common with solid walls where porous masonry allows rainwater to pass through, also walls with cavity fill insulation or incorrect insulation can suffer with the same problems, water can pass through the insulation onto the inside brickwork resulting in plaster getting wet.
In none filled cavity walls brick ties can make a perfect bridge for water to travel across.
Spalled bricks are a sign of porous brickwork, moisture entering a brick causes surface damage to the brick making a week point for weather.

Bridging damp is damp caused when something carries damp over the damp proof course (DPC).
If Plaster or render is lower than the damp proof course this will bridge over the damp proof course allowing damp to travel up the wall contaminating the plaster or render and masonry with Hygroscopic salts that pull moister from the atmosphere, these salts come from the ground.
You get similar problem with concrete floors been raised up above the damp proof course where no damp proof membrane has been used beneath the original concrete and the new concrete layer is direct on top.

The cavity being full will connect the internal and external leafs of the wall forming a thermal bridge and damp to pass over.
A thermal bridge allows the outside temperature to come through the wall to the inside face making cold spot for heat to escape when the outside temperature is down.
The cavity being full also carries ground water containing soluble salts up over the damp proof course, connecting the external and internal leaf at the same time, causing damp, contamination and condensation on the internal plaster.
