I am facing the same issue. At my hardware store I was informed by one of the more experience hands that newer washers pump out drain water at a faster rate. This new rate is now faster than many older homes can handle. Newer homes supposedly have larger drain diameters, but if that's not you, you're going to have problems.
We can't afford to have our drain snaked every month! So what this means is, the problem will always come back. My drain is not clogged -- as soon as I hit the off switch to stop the flooding, the water drains down in a few seconds. I have a slab, so replacing the pipe is a non-starter.
