Wet speaker cables

I just endured a basement flood in which my PAD Proteus were soaked with water. The terminations are okay, but the body of the cable is damp. I called my local dealer and they recommended that they check them out first before I elect to re-insert them into my system. I just wanted to post this here to determine if anyone has experienced this previously. More specifically, I was wondering if the cables will need replacing.

I feel bad for you, but I can't believe that you keep a system of that caliber in a basement that repeatedly floods.

Jim Aud of PAD sent me a personal email indicating the cables simply need to dry out and the main body cannot be damaged. Very impressive customer service!
