  • That bottom layer of wood, likely your subflooring, looks pretty solid.

    That thin layer on top of it might be vintage linoleum, which can contain asbestos.

    It’s not doing much harm under the other layers of flooring, but be careful if you’re determined to remove it, and consider professional help.

    Otherwise, it’s an area that will be hidden under the new dishwasher, and whatever other cabinets you fill the rest of the under-cabinet space with.

    All you really have to worry about is making sure the dishwasher has a relatively level surface to rest its adjustable feet on.

    Since you have the area exposed, you might also consider replacing the water stained drywall at the bottom. It might help make the kitchen smell less musty.

    Or not. Again, it will be hidden.
