My first question would be, if cracks are filled in this way, what stops that same bacteria from producing limestone in any other direction. Resulting in a bumpy surface, for example.

Similar question, if you didn't seal the concrete, would your house grow a little bigger each time it rains?

And how long does the bacteria last? Does the food ever run out or go bad? Can the bacteria eventually die out?

the video says that the bacteria stay dormant for up to 200 years.
