Are you referring to the outgoing waste water backing up? You've probably got a blocked pipe running to your main sewer line. If other pipes (sink drains, toilets) aren't backing up then the blockage is between the drain pipe for the washer and wherever it ties in to the main line. You can try running a sewer snake down the waste water pipe to clear the clog. Or, the pipe could be collapsed from age/tree roots. On some older homes they don't have PVC pipe -- the lines may be old clay or paper pipes that may collapse. In that case, you'll need to dig up and replace the line.

How do you drain a washing machine into an overhead drain?
Draining refers to water falling due to gravity so you can't technically drain a washing machine to an overhead drain. However, washing machines don't really drain. The water is pumped out and up and can therefore be discharged to a drain that is slightly higher than the washing machine itself
Why does a washing machine drain pipe keep overflowing even when there are no obstructions in the pipe?
The washing machine is pumping out water faster than the drain pipe can handle. A trap in the drain pipe to which the washing machine hose is attached is required and that makes the water flow slower than you might expect. Having the washing machine some distance from the main drain line requiring a long horizontal run in the machine's drain pipe will also result in a slower flow. Other causes could be: undersized waste pipe, backward wyes or santees, backgraded piping, backed up gray water system. An obstruction such as a checker piece or poker chip could be lodged within the pipe. Such an obstruction acts as a valve or flap that will pivot out of the way when a snake is pushed through the pipe but pivot closed when water attempts to flow through. Nowadays a two inch drain pipe is recommended. Some cities require two inches or larger. Do not seal around where the washing machine hose is hooked onto the drain pipe as this could overload components within the machine.
