Im not grilling you, Im just interested in hearing more about the impurities left behind part....Is it like a lead sheathed mv cable? Water inside a cable can be responsible for expediting the breakdown of already weak spots in the insulation. Drying a cable out doesn't always make things better though due to the impurities in the water that are left behind afterwards. I wouldn't think that water in a cable could produce a full blown fault but it's hard to say without knowing the type of cable and insulation in question.
