Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with the latitude or the Coriolis effect.

But you need a very large amount of moving air and water for it to take effect.

Why would your bathroom shower begin to flood everytime you use your upstairs shower or sink?
The shower drain and waste lines on up to the other fixtures located above need to be clear so that water will flow. Just downhill of the shower drain there is probably a blockage in the waste pipe. The blockage could cause slow draining. If it is completely blocked, the shower pan will not drain back out over time. You will need to run a plumbers snake down the line below the shower drain. If the toilet in the same room as the shower when flushed also shows water coming into the shower drain, it will be best to take up the toilet off the base and run a plumbers snake from that point. Warning for very slow draining lines or lines that do not drain, DO NOT use Drain cleaning chemicals. Good luck and you may wish to call rotorooter.
When you turn the cold water supply to the water heater off why does water still come your of the hot water lines?
The valve may not be shutting completely or it may just be the water in the lines coming out. Depending on which faucet you turn on and where it is located in the house, it may take a few minutes for the lines to empty. Open the highest faucet or the one furthest away from the one you are working on or the one that is the lowest in the house. The high one needs to be open so it can let air in the system so the water is pulling against a vacuum.

It's PVC pipe, so use appropriate PVC glue and elbow joints. For best results, call your installation professional.
How do you divert water away from house from concrete slab patio sloped toward house?
Take the slab out and pour a new one with the right slope. Rent a concrete saw and cut a few grooves in it making the groove deeper away from the house. This will let the water drain off of the slap and away from the house. If the slab is separate from the house, you might be able to mud jack it at the house and raise it enough to slop it away from the house. Mud jacking is not terribly expensive.
