But, my question is..., If the only issue is some minor cracking or wear in
the service entrance cable insulation, is there a way to just repair the
insulation? I assume that it is gray in color, so is there some type of
insulation repair product that can be applied that is made for this type of
situation -- possibly gray in color so it doesn't look bad?

I'm a big fan of silicon tape, I think it's called. One stretches it to
2 or 3 times its length before wrapping it around something. Overlap
it. Then in a couple days, it turns into one piece of "rubber". It
certainly won't leak between the layers, and probably not between the
bottom layer and they cable. It's expensive** and one roll doesn't go
very far (it's thicker than most tapes) and she might need more than one
roll.

**Although last year they had some sort of cheaper stretchable tape at
home depot. I used it but I don't think I checked it later. The
expensive one is wrapped on a white plastic spool, not a cardboard
spool.

And if the cable is right up against the wall, it might be impossible to
get the tape behind it.
