Obviously, this is a service for which there will be a charge + postage both ways. The viability depends on the value of your guitar and pickup.
If you had declared the make/model of your offending pickup, somebody on this forum would probably know whether that pickup would have been wax potted by its manufacturer.
If the pickup coil is already potted, the source of your squeal is one of the other three causes that I mentioned above.
If that doesn't fix it, if the baseplate is loose, try double-sided tape between it and the bottom of the coil. If *that* doesn't fix it, the pickup will need wax potting. (Or replacing with one that's been made like that.)
Also be aware that sometimes the entire bridge can vibrate at the front - especially a problem with the vintage 'ashtray' type. Double-sided tape can cure this too.
