Life Safety Services
Protecting the Places Where People Live, Work, and Gather.
We invest in the businesses that safeguard public health, structural integrity, and environmental stability—preserving the spaces we depend on every day.
As buildings across America age and regulations evolve, the need to preserve the health, safety, and structural integrity of the built environment has never been more urgent. Life Safety Services represent a growing category of essential businesses tasked with protecting the physical spaces where people live, work, and gather. These businesses don’t just maintain buildings—they preserve lives. Their work includes mitigating environmental hazards like mold and asbestos, maintaining vertical systems like elevators and boilers, and ensuring code compliance across everything from emergency exits to ADA accessibility.
At Legacy, we invest in these behind-the-scenes service providers because they operate in sectors that are compliance-driven, inspection-triggered, and deeply resilient. Many of these companies are called in not for discretionary upgrades, but in response to inspections, code enforcement, or health risks—creating a steady and recurring demand for their expertise. As regulations tighten and public expectations for safety rise, these businesses are positioned to scale with confidence.
We’re building a portfolio of companies that make the spaces around us safer, healthier, and more dependable. Whether it's remediating air quality in a school, reinforcing a building’s structure, or servicing the systems that provide daily accessibility, these operators play an increasingly vital role in preserving both property and people.
“The EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air—and in some cases, up to 100 times worse. Mold, dust, and poor ventilation are silent threats.”
— Environmental Health & Safety Consultant
“As climate change fuels more pest outbreaks and health risks, it’s the small, family-run businesses that are on the front lines—responding fast, working locally, and protecting homes, schools, and workplaces before the damage spreads.”
— Director, Urban Environmental Health Coalition
“AI’s not going to crawl into a wet basement and fix a mold problem. It’s not showing up to service an elevator or seal a fire door. That’s real work—and it’s being done by people like us, every day.”
