Bamboo and Exotic Wood Floors - Can I nail bamboo over this subfloor?

Hi

I recently pulled up some old linoleum in my laundry room and I'm looking to install some bamboo engineered flooring that will be nailed down. Can I install over this as it looks like the plywood is stained but does not look like there is much damage.

Can I nail right into this or should I lay some 1/4 underlayment plywood over it, or something else.

Is the plywood 3/4" thick? Is it smooth and flat? Flooring needs a smooth, flat surface. Follow installation instructions for subfloor prep, acclimation, and installation.

It is 3/4", smooth and flat. I had to pull out the existing staples left over from ripping up the underlayment. I'll probably drill in some additional screws to secure the floor.

Do I need to worry about moisture possibly getting into the bamboo. The floor feels dry.

Staining is probably from an old washer leak. The concern about moisture should be more so in regard to the potential for your washer to leak. You can see the extent of the previous leak. Bamboo and water do not mix. If it were my laundryroom, I'd install concrete underlayment and ceramic tile (expensive) or sheet vinyl (less expensive).

A few months ago a friend of mine had an ice maker leak that damaged her new laminate floor. I told her to call her homeowner's insurance company. It's a good thing she did not, because last week she had a major plumbing leak and major damage to the kitchen floor. The insurance company reimbursed her very well, but she has decided that she is going sheet vinyl this time. She is getting Armstrong Premier with a 20-year warranty, and it's the new floating vinyl. No adhesive!

You're probably right with going with tile, I thought about it but I trying to go with the whole GOING GREEN theme. I heard that bamboo is fine with water as long as it's not soaking in it. Plus I've already purchased the bamboo and just making sure I don't need to put anything down first as a precaution or best practice.

Thanks again for your help.
