It is fore this reason that we sell less and less natural draft devices , instead of tring to solve the pressure balance problem a solutiuon is change oit the natural draft device with one that incorporates direct vent technology and does not require air for combustion from the interior of the structure, not the answer you want to hear, but more than likly the easliest solution
Why would you blower door the house when the water heater is in the attic? How about check to make sure the soffit vents are clear and open?
