   How badly did they chew up the wire? If it's just insulation damage, and you can't see any copper shining through (other than the bare neutral), I'd just tape it up good, then maybe slide a slit piece of hose over the area.

   First picture is 220 wire.
   The second picture is group of wires. The taped wire is a fix from PO. I do not trust electric tape to fix wire. I would rather not pull 20 feet of wire to water heater, but I will do what it takes to fix this problem.

   If you disconnect wires at the junction boxes and feed new wires through greenfield that may work. Are you sure they are squirrels? I have seen damage like that from rafter rats.
