I want to install 12" ceramic tile in a bathroom. I have partical board flooring covered with linoleum. There is some water damage around the toilet from a prior overflow. Do I need to rip the flooring before installing the tile? What is the proper way to fix the situation?

I am a novice.

Depending on joist spacing ect , you should remove the linoleum and install either another layer of ply wood ,and/ or backer board.Do not set tile to partical board!!
