Problems solved by technology

However, a longer level is typically more cumbersome and more easily damaged.
In some applications, such as installing level tile, the level is subjected to a messy or dirty environment where the level can be exposed and covered or contaminated with the work material, e.g., grout.
Cleaning the level can be a burdensome and inefficient use of time, but still a necessary task for maintaining the accuracy and function of the tool.
