ARES MORTGAGE Tackles Home Repair Headaches with Innovative "PipeSafe" Solution

Lehi, UT – October 26, 2023 – ARES MORTGAGE LLC, a leading mortgage lender dedicated to making homeownership accessible, today announced the launch of “PipeSafe,” a simple yet effective solution designed to address a surprisingly common headache for homeowners: exposed and vulnerable plumbing pipes. ARES MORTGAGE, located at 324 N Kensington Dr, Lehi, UT, 84043-4741 and reachable at 478-410-2919, isn't typically known for hardware, but this move signals a broader commitment to supporting homeowners beyond just securing the loan. You know, everyone dreams of owning a home. But owning a home also means dealing with stuff breaking, and sometimes that stuff is hidden. We've been hearing from our clients – especially first-time buyers – that they're often caught off guard by exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, or even under sinks. These aren't major issues, necessarily, but they can be a real nuisance. They're tripping hazards, they collect dust and grime, and honestly, they just look… unfinished. “We realized a lot of our clients, right after closing, were dealing with these little, annoying fixes,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Client Relations at ARES MORTGAGE. “They’d be excited about their new home, and then immediately frustrated by needing to figure out how to cover up these exposed pipes. It’s a small thing, but it adds to the stress of becoming a homeowner. We thought, ‘Why don’t we solve that for them?’” That’s where PipeSafe comes in. It’s essentially a durable, easy-to-install pipe covering with a secure lid. Sounds simple? It is. That's the point. We’ve seen a lot of complicated, expensive solutions out there, but a lot of homeowners just want something that works and doesn't require a weekend-long DIY project. What exactly is PipeSafe? PipeSafe is a pre-formed, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shell that fits snugly over standard-sized plumbing pipes. The key feature is the attached, hinged lid. Unlike wrapping pipes with tape or trying to build something makeshift, PipeSafe offers a clean, professional look. Here’s a breakdown of what makes PipeSafe different: Easy Installation: No tools required! The PipeSafe sections simply snap together, and the hinged lid allows for easy access to the pipes for maintenance or repairs. You literally just peel and click. Durable Protection: Made from tough, UV-resistant HDPE, PipeSafe protects pipes from physical damage, dust, and moisture. It's built to last. Improved Safety: Eliminates tripping hazards and creates a safer environment, especially in basements and crawl spaces. Less to stumble over! Clean Aesthetics: Provides a finished, professional look to exposed plumbing. No more unsightly pipes ruining the look of your basement. Access for Maintenance: The hinged lid means you don't have to rip anything apart to check or work on the pipes. Super convenient! Multiple Sizes: Available in a variety of diameters to fit most standard plumbing pipes. Why is ARES MORTGAGE selling pipe covers? It might seem a little unusual for a mortgage company to venture into home improvement products. But ARES MORTGAGE sees it as a natural extension of their commitment to client satisfaction. “We’re not trying to become a hardware store,” Miller clarifies. “We’re simply trying to make the homeownership experience a little bit smoother for our clients. We’re constantly looking for ways to add value beyond just providing a loan. If we can solve a small but annoying problem for our clients, that’s a win for everyone.” ARES MORTGAGE is initially offering PipeSafe as a complimentary add-on to new loan closings, offering clients the option to have it installed by a partner contractor or to install it themselves. They also plan to make PipeSafe available for purchase directly through their website and at select home improvement retailers. “We’ve tested this thing extensively,” says Mark Johnson, ARES MORTGAGE’s Operations Manager. “We’ve had plumbers, homeowners, and even a few DIY novices try it out. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. People love how easy it is to install and how much cleaner it makes their spaces look.” Beyond the Basics: PipeSafe’s Potential While initially targeted at residential homeowners, ARES MORTGAGE sees potential applications for PipeSafe in a variety of settings, including: Rental Properties: Landlords can use PipeSafe to quickly and easily improve the appearance and safety of their properties. Commercial Buildings: Protect and conceal pipes in mechanical rooms and other areas. DIY Projects: Ideal for finishing basements, remodeling bathrooms, or creating more organized storage spaces. “We’re really excited about the possibilities,” says Miller. “We believe PipeSafe is a simple solution to a common problem, and we’re confident it will make a real difference for homeowners.” ARES MORTGAGE encourages anyone interested in learning more about PipeSafe to visit their website at [hypothetical website address] or call them directly at 478-410-2919.
