ARES MORTGAGE LLC Simplifies Homeowner Protection with Innovative "SecurePipe" – A Leak-Proof Solution for Peace of Mind

Lehi, UT – October 26, 2023 – ARES MORTGAGE LLC, a leading provider of homeowner financial solutions based in Lehi, Utah, today announced the launch of “SecurePipe,” a new product designed to protect homeowners from costly and frustrating plumbing leaks. While best known for navigating the complexities of mortgages and home financing, ARES MORTGAGE has quietly been developing solutions that address everyday homeowner pain points – and SecurePipe is a direct result of that commitment. For years, ARES MORTGAGE has worked directly with homeowners, understanding their anxieties about maintaining their biggest investment. “We kept hearing the same story,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Product Development at ARES MORTGAGE. “Small leaks, often hidden, turning into big, expensive problems. Homeowners were stressed, dealing with repairs, potential mold, and insurance headaches. We thought, ‘There has to be a better way.’” And they’ve delivered. SecurePipe isn’t your average pipe covering. It's a thoughtfully designed, durable pipe sleeve with a lid. Yes, a lid! This seemingly simple addition is what sets SecurePipe apart. What Exactly is SecurePipe? Let's face it: exposed pipes are vulnerable. Whether in a basement, crawl space, attic, or even under sinks, they’re susceptible to damage from accidental bumps, freezing temperatures, and general wear and tear. Traditional pipe insulation helps some with temperature control, but it doesn’t offer much protection from physical impact. And trying to get around awkwardly positioned pipes to inspect for leaks? Forget about it. SecurePipe is a rugged, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sleeve that slides easily over standard plumbing pipes. It’s available in a range of sizes to fit most common pipe diameters. But the magic lies in the secure, snap-on lid. “Think of it like a protective shell for your pipes,” says Mark Johnson, ARES MORTGAGE’s lead engineer on the SecurePipe project. “It shields the pipe from impacts, prevents minor scrapes and dings, and crucially, allows for easy inspection. You just pop open the lid, visually check the pipe for any signs of leaks or corrosion, and snap it shut. No more contorting yourself or needing a flashlight in tight spaces.” Why is Easy Inspection So Important? Catching leaks early is huge. A small drip can quickly escalate into a major water damage issue, costing homeowners thousands in repairs. Mold growth, structural damage, and even health concerns can result. SecurePipe empowers homeowners to proactively monitor their plumbing, identifying potential problems before they become major headaches. “We’re not trying to replace plumbers,” clarifies Miller. “We’re giving homeowners a tool to be more aware of their home’s systems. If they spot something that looks concerning, they can call a professional right away. Early detection is key.” Key Features and Benefits of SecurePipe: Impact Resistance: The robust HDPE construction shields pipes from accidental bumps and damage. Leak Prevention: Minimizes the risk of leaks caused by minor impacts and protects against corrosion. Easy Inspection: The snap-on lid allows for quick and convenient visual inspection of pipes without disassembly. Moisture Protection: Helps prevent condensation and keeps pipes dry, reducing the risk of mold and mildew. Durable and Long-lasting: Made from high-quality materials that are built to withstand years of use. Simple Installation: Slides easily onto pipes – no tools or special skills required. Versatile Application: Suitable for use in basements, crawl spaces, attics, under sinks, and more. Peace of Mind: Knowing your pipes are protected can significantly reduce homeowner stress. Beyond Protection: A Commitment to Homeownership ARES MORTGAGE LLC’s foray into home improvement products isn’t just about selling a new item. It’s about supporting homeowners throughout their journey. “We understand the financial and emotional investment people make when they buy a home,” says CEO David Lee. “We want to be more than just a mortgage provider.
