ARES MORTGAGE LLC Tackles Home Repair Headaches with Innovative “PipePal” – A Protected Pipe Solution

Lehi, UT – October 26, 2023 – ARES MORTGAGE LLC, a leading mortgage lender dedicated to making homeownership accessible and stress-free, today announced a surprising, yet practical, addition to their commitment to homeowners: PipePal, a simple, protective pipe solution designed to prevent costly and frustrating plumbing issues. While known for navigating the financial complexities of home buying, ARES is now tackling a different kind of home headache – exposed and vulnerable pipes. You know the drill. Winter hits, temperatures drop, and suddenly you’re staring down the barrel of frozen, burst pipes. Or maybe a leaky pipe is slowly damaging your foundation. It’s a homeowner’s nightmare, and it can quickly turn into a major financial drain. ARES MORTGAGE LLC understands this all too well – they see the financial impact of these unexpected repairs on their clients daily. That’s why they developed PipePal. “We talk to homeowners all the time, and we kept hearing the same story: unexpected home repairs are expensive and really stressful,” says Sarah Miller, Chief Innovation Officer at ARES MORTGAGE LLC. “We wanted to do something proactive. We’re in the business of helping people secure their future, and that includes protecting their investment – their home.” What is PipePal? PipePal is a durable, weatherproof pipe covering with a secure lid, designed to shield exposed plumbing from the elements, accidental damage, and pests. It’s not some complicated, high-tech gadget – it’s a genuinely practical solution that anyone can install quickly and easily. “We wanted something that wasn’t intimidating. No plumber needed, no complicated instructions,” explains David Chen, Lead Product Developer. “It’s essentially a tough ‘jacket’ for your pipes, and the lid snaps securely shut to keep everything protected.” Here’s what makes PipePal stand out: Simple Installation: Seriously, you can do it yourself. PipePal is designed to slip over standard-sized pipes and secure with a built-in locking mechanism. No tools required! Weatherproof Protection: Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), PipePal is built to withstand harsh weather conditions – freezing temperatures, scorching heat, rain, snow, and even UV exposure. Durable and Long-Lasting: This isn’t some flimsy plastic cover. PipePal is built to last for years, providing reliable protection for your pipes. Pest Prevention: Keeps rodents, insects, and other pests from gnawing on or nesting near your pipes, preventing potential leaks and damage. Prevents Accidental Damage: Protect pipes from being bumped, scraped, or damaged by lawnmowers, gardening tools, or even playful pets. Visually Discreet: Designed to blend in with most exterior environments, keeping your property looking neat and tidy. Available in grey and white. Affordable Peace of Mind: Compared to the cost of repairing or replacing burst pipes, PipePal is a small investment that can save you a lot of money and hassle. How did ARES Mortgage get into…pipe covers? It might seem like a strange move for a mortgage company, but ARES MORTGAGE LLC sees it as a natural extension of their commitment to homeowner success. “We’re constantly looking for ways to add value for our clients,” says CEO Michael Ramirez. “We realized that a lot of the financial stress homeowners experience comes from unexpected repair costs. PipePal isn’t just about protecting pipes; it’s about protecting their financial security.” ARES has been quietly beta-testing PipePal with a group of homeowners in the Lehi, Utah area for the past six months, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. “I was skeptical at first,” admitted homeowner Susan Baker. “But it’s so easy to install, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my pipes are protected, especially with the crazy weather we’ve been having.” Beyond the Product: A Commitment to Homeowner Education ARES MORTGAGE LLC isn’t just selling a product; they’re also providing homeowners with valuable resources and information about preventing common home maintenance issues. Their website features articles, videos, and guides on topics such as winterizing your home, preventing frozen pipes, and identifying potential plumbing problems. “We want to empower homeowners to take control of their home maintenance,” says Sarah Miller. “A little bit of preventative care can go a long way in saving you time, money, and stress.” Where to Buy PipePal PipePal is available for purchase directly through the ARES MORTGAGE LLC website (www.aresmortgage.com) and at select home improvement retailers in Utah starting November 15th.
