amored cabel is quite forgiveing of minidigger.  if you have a ditching bucket and a small machene.  plastic water pipes are ok to dig upto as well the ones that can be a real pith are steel galv water pipes   

the clay is likely expaning why its chooseing to come through the wall at leas

When were the cables put in? If they were fairly new they should have tape a good ft above with a sand blind under.

IT'S ON A FARM, THEY WILL HAVE BEEN PUT THERE BY A FARMER ( OR WORSE )

you really think any tape or sand will have been anywhere near them at any point.


last time i looked for tape digging near wires on a farm all the lights went out and i had a holy bucket

Cables went in in 1977. 

On a farm, but  were installed as party of a large project, but it would have been to 1979 standards and will have had 30 years of aging on them.

going to have to be the gently gently approach and no toothed buckets

[SoundillusioN]

Bucket and spade.   

[Sam]

Only a suggestion

Only a suggestion 

soz  but i work with farmers to much and know what there like   tape would require buying the best you chould ever hope for is for it to be subsituted for bailertwine and old bags as that would be hanging around.  round here they have time machens as well,   as they keep on converting all these old barns that wern't there into cottages that have allways been there.  as for regs they don't matter because it's allways been there. 

tho at the particular place in question there is a possoblity it was done to the standards of the time.

Because it wasn't done by farmers, it was done by industrial contractors on that occasion!

It's about the only bit that ever was, mind!

[Len]

Industrial contractors working of a Farm?
Probably worse than the farmers! And back in 1979 you only did what you had to. If you could get away with doing feck all, you did feck all.

Is this only at ground level?

I think so, yes.

Forgot to ask, what type of wall is it... breezeblock or brick?.... Also what is the floor made from, concrete? What type of ground is on the outside of this wall?

It's hard to make suggestions without seeing it but weeping through at ground level suggests a poor join between the wall and the floor.  If that's the case and depending on the floor type and ground outside, you could try the following:

Mix up some mortar with some Waterproof And Retarder solution - Something like THIS

Build up the area along the bottom of the wall at an angle on both sides by a couple of inches if that makes sense.
.

There are a few remedial tanking solutions available,

A drained cavity may also be possible, but as you say the most effective and inexpensive solution is to stop the water coming throught the wall in the first place, if you can get access to the outside of the wall...
