You may need to replace some of the support beams underneath. You can always put underlayment on what is there but, if there is a support problem, you will only cover an exiting problem and it will surface again later. You may end up ripping out the existing subfloor and replacing it. Definitly check for termite damage.<br><b>References : </b><br> First thing is to determine why there are dips and potholes.

That can be a plywood sheeting or a more waterproof material, but will aid in leveling. Use a level with thin set perhaps in the deepest depressions, but add the subfloor, then the usual underlayment for wood flooring above. The initial cost and effort will save you dollars in the long term. Rev.
