About the Southside Mechanical Team
A Legacy of Plumbing Excellence in Danville
Southside Mechanical Services has been serving Danville and the surrounding areas since 1998, but our story goes back even further. Our founder and president, George Hylton, has been in the plumbing trade since the age of 19, working his way up from a service tech to a respected business owner and community leader. Today, alongside his son Justin and a skilled, close-knit team, George continues to build a company rooted in real experience, strong values, and genuine care for customers.
We’re proud to bring over 90 combined years of hands-on plumbing expertise to every job we take on—commercial, residential, or industrial. Whether it’s a service call in Forest or a mechanical piping install in Martinsville, we show up with professionalism, precision, and a mindset that no job is too small when it matters to our customer.

Meet Our Leadership
Our story wouldn’t be complete without highlighting the dedicated leadership behind Southside Mechanical Services.

With over 33 years of experience and multiple certifications in plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and gas piping, George has built a reputation for delivering excellence in every project. He leads with a forward-thinking philosophy, always prioritizing innovation, customer satisfaction, and a commitment to fostering a family-oriented work environment.
Justin Hylton, Co-Owner and Vice President, joined the business in 2006 and has grown into a vital part of the leadership team. With hands-on experience across both service and construction, Justin has worked his way from laborer to Project Manager and now Estimator. He shares his father’s passion for the trade and dedication to growing the company while maintaining its core values. Together, George and Justin are committed to continuing the legacy of plumbing excellence in Danville.
